(Hey, 1.5 is an exponent!)
So I started saving all my coins for a car down payment. I pay everything except my bills with coins, and every cash transaction I break a new bill. I still have a long, long way to go; but I suck at trying to save "real" money, so I figured this is a good option.
I'm trying to save real money to, $10 a week, which I transfer from my checking account to my Paypal account to my savings account at my credit union, which is a pain in the ass to access. So far, I have ... umm ... $10. :)
